Back From Victory, Troops Drive Into Welcome Barrage on 5th Ave. Parade Men "Gone West' Lead Division [Those Who March as Typical of Citv as Those Who Cheer ? Snow fell, to lie thick on pack and shoulder, when New York saw her lads of the 77th Division march away to war. As they swung down the Avenue, untried ri?es aslant, a bitter xv :. ! (?rove gusts of sleet against the olive drab ranks, stiff and a little self conscious. Through the storm they marched and disappeared. Months ran into a yeai and the brown ranks, untried no longer, had ploughed forward through the in? ferno of the Ai'gonne. Yesterday, in the full tide o< spring, they returned from victory to triumph. Solid oolongs of inarching men, bat? talion by battalion, they swept up | Fifth Avenue, gray bayonets slanting like driving rain. In their ears was the load voice of brass and the tumult of the city's welcome. From the great white arch at Wash? ington Square the avenue had been i swept clean and slock.

A; Typical of the City Ai the Crowd That Cheers rigle class, no special race or < or district had bred the mon v ' ung, shoulder to shoulder, up the avenue.

Gen. Alexander's Farewell to 77th Commander E x p ?esses Appreciation of Loyalty of Officers and Men In the form of a general order, Gen- ' eral Alexander issued the following! farewell last night to the officers and men of the division: "General Order No. 35, "Division Headquarters. ''The parade of the 77th Division to- ; day virtually concludes the existence | of the division as a unit of the United States Army. The division commander deems it appropriate in saying fare-! well to the comrades with whom he has i been associated (luring the history-: making events of the war, and since i the armistice, to express to them his i high sense oi appreciation of the loy? alty with which each and all have ful? filled the trust reposed in then?. Whether in the lace of the foe in? active combat, in tne billets in France occupied in the period since the armis- ! tice, or out across the Atlantic, and finally in our own home town, the record of the division has been con? sistently one of faithful service and a high sense of duty on the part of all. "The division commander extends to each and every officer and man of that division his most sincere appreciation of all their soldierly qualities, and wishes one and all every success and happiness in the future, feeling sure that they will display in civil life the same qualities of fortitude and patri? otic devotion to duty that they havej so fullv demonstrated as soldiers.

Warning That Martens is Not Recognized as Acting j i'or Russian Government i Soviet's Man Discusses It j Says It Is at Variance With the Announced Policy of Officials at Washington New Yorl. j ribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, May 6.?The State Department to-day officially repudiated ! the*Bolshevik government of Russia and its so-called'representative in the united States, L. C. A. K. Martens, of Now York, in the following statement: "The Department of State has re- : ceived numerous inquiries regarding L. C. A. K. Martens, claiming to bo a representative of a Russian Socialist Federal Soviet republic. The depart- ' ment feels it to be its duty to inform j the public that Mr. Martens has not ! been received or recognized as the j representative of the government of? Russia or of any other government. "As the United States government has not recognized the Bolshevik re? gime at Moscow as a government, ex? treme caution should be exercised as to representations made by any one purporting to represent the Bolshevik government.'' Activities to Continue Santeri Nuorteva, official spokesman for the Russian Soviet Bureau, which i is headed by L. C. A. K. Martens, said yesterday that the announcement issued by the State Department would not af? fect the bureau's activities in any way, and that it had never been claimed that ; Mr. Martens was recognized by the ; State Department. "The Russian Soviet Bureau has never claimed tnat the State Depart? ment has officially recognized Mr. Mar- i tons," said Nuorteva. "Our activities,! until now have been a preparation for the time when our government possibly will be recognized. The statement of the State Department does not affect in I any way our activities, which continuo | as heretofore." Mr. Nuorteva said the announcement : does not como as a surprise, since his bureau has in its possession a copy of a letter "written by the State Depart? ment to one of the firms with which our bureau has been in communica? tion." t an't Understand Why Mr, Nuorteva said he could not un- ! demand how the State Department ! could issue such a statement, when | the United States has announced from j time to time that it is not for or! against any of the groups battling for ' sovereignty in Russia. "The official statement," he asserted. "is absolutely at variance with the an- [ nounced policy of the government of the United States. The issuance of! such a statement is so much more as- ! tonishing as evidence undoubtedly is I in the hands of the State Department to show that there is no reason for ex- ! pecting the downfall of the present i government of Russia. Stories printed i in the press about alleged victories of Kolchak forces are on their face most? ly pure inventions." Mr. Nuorteva said the warning of the ; State Department to American busi ness against dealing with the Bol? sheviki "beeause another government may not hold itself responsible for ob , ligatio^is entered into by the present 1 rulers ' is a very interesting one, as i it seems to be a great change from the viewpoint heretofore taken by of | ficiala in respect to obligations en? tered into by governments." \\ illing to Talk Settlement "The theory heretofore," he con- j tinuod, "has been that a government ' has no right to annul any obligations ! entered into by a previous government, I and on that theory violent attacks | have been launched against the soviet government of Russia, although it has j expressed its willingness to discuss the ! settlement of obligations of former '< ? Russian administrations." Mr. Nuorteva said there was no ado quate reason for issuing a statement , of this kind by the State Department. "Any policy of waiting for some I other government, to come into power' will be very disastrous to the eco? nomic interests of the United States.1 Soviel Russia is ready to-day to estab- , lish economic relations with the rest i of the world, and I am sure the aver- ! age American exporter will lind if to hin advantage not to gamble on some Imaginary possible change in Russia, but to use the opportunity right now." ? Mr. Nuorteva declarad that while the British government has been officially hostile the British interest? are, on the quiet, seeking to establish trade relu tlons with Russia as she is to-day. "There can be no reason in the world," Mr. Nuorteva declared, "why | the economic Interests in the United Slates should demand a policy which would lose the present opportunity of getting a market, for American prod? ucts." ir you hava money, subscribe for Victory Utterly Noie* through UN j M ?, ou H?-' 'i monas. ?? n will buy Other f.lli*rty liana* from you, ,li>lm Vlulr A CO,, ?II H wny A'lvU Digest of Treaty To Be Published Thursday |>ARIS, May 6.?It developed this ?*- afternoon that changes were still being made in the peace treaty, and that the changing process prob? ably would be continued up to the last possible moment. It is under? stood that the alterations are large? ly those of phraseology. The plans for making the treaty public textuaily are still vague. Seemingly, the only plan perfected with regard to publicity is a decision to give out a 10,000 word digest of . the treaty for publication on Thurs? day morning. The document Itself is so volu- i minous that it is probable that no I delegate has read all its sections. Loan Campaign Takes a Spurt; Parade Is Help Subscriptions Jump Ahead and New York District Now Has Pledged 41.20 Per Cent of Its Quota Enthusiasm over the 77th Division parade yesterday put fresh impetus into the Victory loan campaign, and, at the end of the day, Benjamin Strong, chair? man of the .Victory Liberty Loan Com- j mittee, characterized t-ie results as j the first encouraging sign of tha drive. Although the precise statistical ex? tent of the day's spurt was not yet j reflected in the official total for the district last night, the figure an? nounced fired the loan workers with enthusiasm and optimism. The gain for the thirteenth day was the largest* thus far, and placed the district slightly ahead relatively of where it stood in the corresponding period of the Fourth j Loan. Subscriptions officially re? corded by the Federal Reserve Bank of the district yesterday reached $146, 352,500, bringing the aggregate up to $557,272,400, or 41.2 per cent of its ' ?luota of $1,350,000,000, which must be filled by midnight Saturday. Other Districts Do Better However, ill the proportion of its quota filled thus far, the nation as a whole is better off than the New York district. According to an announce? ment by the Treasury Department last night, the twelve Federal Reserve dis? tricts have raised $2,060,742,000, or ' 15.79 per cent of the amount set by Secretary Glass. Every district except Atlanta excels \ New York in its relative achievement. Only St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago ! and Boston, however, have passed the j half-way mark. The standing of the : other districts follows: District. Subscription:. P.C.

Mr. Strong, though he regarded the latest officiai figure as "encouraging," em? phasized the fact that the number of subscribers was still far below what In expected, and announced that em? phasis would be placed more thai? ever on a wide distribution of the new gold notes of the United States.

Between H and i) o'clock in the even? ing cannon roared and whistles in thw lower part of the city screamed "one, two, three, four, five" and "one, two, three, four, five" incessantly for an hour.

New York Tribuna \rr ; Rhine Bridgehead Occupation for 15 Years Insufficient, Marshal Asserts Other States Make Protests China and Portugal Dissatisfied ; Italy Makes Reservation PARIS, May 6 (By The Associated Press).?Marshal Foch, in a speech at a secret plenary session of the peace conference this afternoon, declared that the security given France by the peace treaty was inadequate from a military point of view and said it was his per? sonal conviction that the treaty should not be signed. The Marshal emphasized the ncees. sity of France holding the bridgeheads along the Rhine and said that occupa? tion limited to fifteen years was not i sufficient. The plenary session was held so that ; the peace treaty might be presented to the minor powers. The session ad ! journed at 5:15 o'clock. The draft of j the treaty is considered now as hav ? ing passed the final stage before being I presented to the Germans to-morrow. Other Protests Are Made The Chinese delegates at the plenary j session presented a brief, formal and | dignified protest concerning the dis | position of Kiao-chau and the Portu ! guese delegates expressed dissatisfac? tion regarding the treatment accorded Portugal, Lu Cheng-hsiang, the Chinese For? eign Minister, asked for reconsidera? tion of the decision regarding Shan? tung and Kiao-chau. He said that in the opinion of the Chinese delegation the decision had been made without re? gard for justice or for the protection of the territorial integrity of China. He said that if reconsideration was im-v possible he desired to make reserva? tions on behalf of China. Italy Makes Reservation ? Italy was represented at. the session ? by Signor Crospi, who said he desired to make reservations concerning any provisions in the treaty not acceptable to Italy. The protestations made by the vari? ous delegations are not regarded as serious, as no definite reservations were made by the protestants. The clause regarding responsibilities which was not acted on at the previous ! session of the plenary conference, it i understood, has been incorporated in ; the final draft of the treaty. This provides for the trial of the , former German Emperor for "a . supreme offence against international i morality and the sanctity of treaties'' ; by a tribunal composed of repr?sentai tives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. M. Clemenceau Presides The session of the conference was \ held in the Foreign Office, with the | same setting and distinguished per ! sonnel as at previous public sessions, j except in the case of Italy. M. Clemen I ccau presided, with President Wilson ! at his right and Premier Lloyd George at his left, with the entire membership I of the conference grouped around the j table. Enormous throngs surrounded the i Foreign Office, watching the arrival of ? the delegates. Marslfal Foch and the ! British Vice-Admiral Sir Rosslyn ! Wemyss were attended by their staffs. While the session was a secret one i it is understood that Captain Aidrc i Tardieu. representing France, ex : plained the provisions of the document ? and was questioned from time to time, j the explanations given being full and free.
